ApsaraVideo Media Processing limits the frequency at which a user can call specific API operations, which is the QPS limit per user. API calls that exceed the QPS limit per user are throttled. This topic describes the QPS limits per user for ApsaraVideo Media Processing API operations. You can call API operations properly based on these limits to avoid business impacts caused by improper API calls.
What is the QPS limit per user for an API operation
The QPS limit per user for an API operation refers to the maximum number of times that an Alibaba Cloud account and its RAM users can call the API operation per second or per minute. For example, the QPS limit per user for the ActivateMediaWorkflow operation is 100 times per second. If you have an Alibaba Cloud account and five RAM users that belong to the account, the total number of calls from these six accounts cannot exceed 100 times per second.
Not all API operations have QPS limits. The following tables describe the API operations that have QPS limits.
Take note of the units in the following tables. The default unit is times per second. Other units, such as times per minute, are expressly given if used.
